Cheddar my friend IF was released by criterion yesterday! I too read the q and a with Bill Hunt and the Digital Bits guys and pray O' Lucky Man is released soon with some extras! I am so happy that Optimum is to release the Villain starring Burton as one of the nastiest gangster's I have seen in the genre! Think it is released August or early September on R2! Happy! Do not hold your breath on LA Confidential! The strange thing about the Warner Home Entertainment team's comments were they confirmed stuff that has not been announced and yet they were very coy about Deliverance and Cruising and both are getting the full se treatment in September!? odd!

Well, we can always hope! I mean, when I AM LEGEND is touted as the $90 Million box office smash and comes to DVD, maybe they'll release it. I don't really care about that many extras, just good sound/picture, with a few IAL (book, not film) extras.

Quote: In the Warner q and a with the digital forum last March the Warner home entertainment team mentioned that an se of Beetlejuice was in the works! Im still waiting for a proper cut of the Magnificent Ambersons from them with some good special features and Quo Vadis and O'Lucky Man.......... O' Lucky Man is supposed to be coming if I recall the chat correctly, not sure about If... though.

At the rate the studios are announcing special editions, it's just a matter of time (I have doubts about Silkwood though). Here's a list of what I know of upcoming announced special editions: JUNE ILLUSIONIST HARD BOILED

oh dear! Bad news Mrs Doubtfire is not being released on May 8th! No news on when Fox will release it. I was really lookin forward to buying it too! What happened to Scrooged "Yule Love It" as well? Probably Paramount did not release it due to the stupid title!

Here are some more news. This time for an all new "Mrs Doubtfire: SE" and "Fantastic Four: Extended Edition"! Read on....

You could buy a region free player, get the excellent R2 disc for around $10, and still have money left over for a few more discs. And yeah, Universal is releasing Flash Gordon to tie in with the new SciFi Channel series of the same name that will air this summer.

and at that...i guess i was a little late on my pricing. i checked amazon the other day...and it's up to $230.00.

I'm just passing on the news. Typica; of Universal to release a SE of "Bruce Almighty" to cash in on the sequel! I might get it if it has any good Specia Features not included in the first release. And it looks like R1 finally gets the Special Edition treatment of "Serenity" that you can already get from R2 or R4.
